Vision

If you have time I would recommend that you do the e-learning modules via https://learningzone.cegedimrx.co.uk

Quick Reference

Vision is made by cededim Healthcare Solutions. They have some really helpful online resources, which can be accessed without a login to their e-learning platform

• Quick Reference Consultation Manager Desk Aid

The “Getting Started” guide is a good place to start if you’re a locum, take care not to get sucked down the “Consultation Manager Setup” tree. The most useful pages are

• Getting Started Videos

E-learning and videos

My learning path for vision was to watch this old YouTube video, it looks like Vision hasn’t changed much since then:
I’ve included some useful timestamps below in-case I get stuck at work and want to look things up quickly.

The e-learning modules from cededim are easy to follow and really helpful. I signed up as a locum and got an account the same day. https://learningzone.cegedimrx.co.uk
